There is a physical device that will do it, can’t recall what it is called now. I wanted to try it but never got around to it
What is your iPhone battery health (and how old)?

iPhone 11 which I’ve had since launch is now at 74%. I’ve noticed the drop off in battery life over the last few months.
That seems really low. My friend’s 11 is at 88% and he charges it to 100% every night.

iPhone 12, just under 2 years old, battery is on 87%
mines exactly the same

My iPhone 11 Pro is on the original battery and it's still reporting 100% after virtually 3 years.
I always charge to 100% overnight with an ancient Mophie 7.5W wireless charger
I'm convinced it's not as good as it used to be though, it struggles to make it to the end of the day now.

I've got mine set to optimised charging, depending on what I'm doing it'll usually end the day with 30/40% charge left, sometimes I'll run it down to flat but very rarely..

Iphone 11, almost 4 years old, 71% and showing "Service" i charge every night with optimised charging on. Might spend the £69 and get the battery sorted as nothing out really justifies spending hundreds of pounds and anything more than my £10/10Gb a month tarrif. That said i still get a whole day of use out of the phone.

Thinking exactly the same, currently on 76% but for £69 to get an extended lease of life it’s a bargain compared to spending ~£1k. The phone is quick enough, decent enough camera and no real stand out features on the new models to warrant switching.
My launch-day iPhone Xs is currently on 80% capacity.
I charge it every night with optimised charging on.
Depending on how much I use it throughout the day, I do find that I need to charge it in the evening, but on a normal work day (when I'm glued to my computer rather than my phone), I'm still usually on 20–30% battery.

3 years old. It was released in 2019. Mines at 87% from launch and mines mostly charged on my drive to and from work. With an hour commute each way that's usually all the charging I ever have to do.

Coconut the best out there.
I am quite surprised at mine. I've got a 13 Pro that I got on release day so it's not far off a year old now. According to battery health it's at 100%. According to CoconutBattery, my iPhone is at 99.9% with 167 charge cycles on it. It's done really well - last year my 12 Pro was at either 97% or 98% which would've also been a year old then.
If you've got access to a Mac then CoconutBattery will show the battery health along with design capacity and actual capacity on iPads as well as iPhones. I'm not aware of a similar tool for Windows but there must be something.

Thanks, yes I have a Mac. So it's a Mac app rather than an iPad app? I will give that a look

Bit the bullet and had my iPhone 11 battery replaced yesterday for £69 from Apple. Was degraded to 76% so nice to have +24% extra again. Also treated to an Elago silicone case from the rainforest (£11.89) and iOS 16 - feels like a new iPhone !
Mentioned about the new iPhone 14 battery replacements being more expensive - which came as a surprise when they checked!
